Synopsis
Who would have guessed that physics would become the hottest topic on Broadway? This is just the book for anyone trying to get a handle on what is a difficult but extremely trendy science and is sure to help readers become more socially successful. What, really, does E=MC2 mean? More fun than a slide rule, Handy Physics tackles the big issues: Gravity. Magnetism. Matter. Sound. Light. And the smaller topics, like why do cats always land on their feet? Why don't birds or squirrels on power lines get electrocuted? This book combines elementary theory with heart-warming tales of small animals. For everyone who ever wondered how a light bulb works, The book examines over 825 basic questions about physics and physicists, ranging from everyday life applications to the latest explorations in subatomic physics. The book disposes with the mathematical explanations and deep coma often associated with physics and instead takes a more conceptual approach - written in everyday English by yet another teacher. Other great stuff includes a list of the Nobel Prize winners in physics and suggestions for further reading. Ideal for students, science readers, theatregoers, and anyone reckoning with the essential questions about the universe we dwell within, Handy Physics is a friendly guide to the most significant scientific theories and discoveries of our time. And, we promise, no chalkboards.
